Mac gets to watch 'Me Too!'

This morning I watched a few CBeebies programs, and also finished watching 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford' with Mac. In 'Me Too' the market bloke needed help getting to work (he is blind, but as able as any sighted person, I'm sure). On the way he said "hello" to various inanimate objects, including some roadworks.

When he got to the market stall, it was already stocked up. I guess he's lucky no-one decided to steal anything or trash it while he wasn't there. Then Dr. Juno came and bought a couple of carrots, a potato and a piece of ginger from him to make some soup. Mac (who was also watching it today, along with me and Ben, since it's Good Friday), noticed the price of oranges was 45p for one orange. What a Jimmy McTrip off!

Later Dr Juno came back again with a thermos of the soup she'd made, and gave the whole Thermos to the market bloke. Weird. When she asked him if he liked it, he just said how he could taste all the different vegetables in it, so I guess that was his polite way of avoiding saying that he didn't like it.

Then in the afternoon the bloke noticed that the roof of his stall was getting a pool of water in it because it was raining, so he pushed the roof up, and the water went all over him. It was blindingly obvious that was going to happen.

So he went to see the train cafe bloke, who was sorting costumes, and got a costume to wear that had teapots on it - amazing!

Then at some point, there was also a song where it was showing the market, and it was funny as when people noticed they were being filmed, they were like 'AAGH NO!' and turning and walking away from the camera.

Granny Murray and the kids she was babysitting went to an art gallery and did some painting on a large roll of paper on the floor. I was a bit concerned that they didn't have any newspaper or a mat underneath the paper, so any paint that went off the paper would have gone straight onto the art gallery's carpet. Granny Murray did paint a nice picture of a cat though.

After lunch I watched a bit of 'Gerry' with Mac, which was just Matt Damon and Casey Afleck walking up, down and along mountains. I just watched snippets of it while I was waiting for my computer to backup, but it gave me a good feel for the film as it's all basically the same.

I did some work on my website and checked my email and Juza Nature Forum, and also looked at getting some electronic components from Maplin for Ben as they have free delivery until Tuesday.

After dinner I watched the first half of 'The Ten Commandments' with Mac, Ben and Clare. I couldn't help feeling that Charlton Heston would have loved to have had a gun rather than just a stick when fighting off the Amalekite shepherds.

The weather today was sunny for about 20mins in the morning and rainy (on and off, but mainly on) for the rest of the day.
